Here's the latest - He grabbed a woman in the crotch because he's bi-polar...
LOWELL, Mass. (AP) -- A Massachusetts state senator accused of sexually harassing four women in one day has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, an attorney said Wednesday.
Sen. James Marzilli pleaded not guilty to attempting to commit indecent assault and battery, annoying and accosting people of the opposite sex, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
After the brief hearing, attorney Terrence Kennedy said his client has been diagnosed with the mental condition that can cause severe mood swings. He did not say when the state senator had received the diagnosis, whether he remained under psychiatric care or if he was on medication.
Marzilli issued a statement on June 5 saying he had decided to receive treatment at McLean Hospital, a psychiatric facility in Belmont. That came two days after he was arrested after a police footchase through downtown Lowell.
He initially was accused of making lewd comments to one woman and trying to grab another in the crotch. Investigators later spoke with two other women who claimed Marzilli made similar comments to them that day.
